Don't bother going there

Pros

Reasonable dev , test , and IT folks (while they last) A product that is theoretically interesting from the POV of how much data it processes If you can stay for six months to a year (so that everyone who started there before you leaves or is fired), you could become important (but don't fly too close to the sun or you will get burned)

Cons

The company is created , run by, and serves lawyers - as a result, the people are treated like disposables (as a lot of law firms have the tendency to do). You will see people fired and walked out the door out of the blue without any concern for the individual There is constant intrigue, drama, and strife even among the established figures in the company. The 'little guys' are just peons that are just used for a while, then disposed of. The technology is mostly crap - a legacy web app, and a boat-load of stored procedures You're constantly under the gun for hard deadlines from customers. Add the crappy software on top that breaks any time it pleases, and you're on call 24/7 Although there is a "dev & test" team in HQ, the real software development happens offshore, and the "dev & test" team are there just for support and maintenance of the legacy system. You will hear "we're growing the team", but it never happens.
